Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current UK VAT rate?
The standard UK VAT rate is 20%. A reduced rate of 5% applies to domestic energy, children's car seats, and some renovation work. A zero rate (0%) applies to most food, children's clothing, and books.
How do I remove VAT from a price?
To remove 20% VAT from a VAT-inclusive price, divide by 1.20. For example, £120 divided by 1.20 equals £100 net. For the 5% reduced rate, divide by 1.05. This calculator does the reverse VAT calculation instantly.
When do I need to register for VAT?
You must register for VAT when your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period (2024/25 threshold). You can also register voluntarily below this threshold, which is often beneficial if your clients are VAT-registered businesses.
Do I charge VAT on all my invoices?
Only if you are VAT registered. Once registered, you must charge VAT on all taxable supplies at the appropriate rate. Some supplies are zero-rated (0%) or exempt, meaning no VAT is charged, but the rules vary by product and service.
